Our choice of traditional newspapers is limited to Newsday, the king of the dailies and the Long Island Press, a weekly started in 2003. The paper's name comes from a defunct publication that was know as The Long Island Farmer, a daily newspaper. The Farmer was founded in the 1840's, changed its name to the Long Island Daily Press in the 1920's, became simply the Long Island Press in 1967 and shut down in 1977. This newspaper was the inspiration for the name of the current Long Island Press. There are a few specialty newspapers including the Long Island Business News and several weeklies that cover smaller community news and current events on Long Island, NY.
